If you own a G6, this is worth knowing.

RTINGS just re-ran their full test suite on the LG G6 after LG pushed firmware 43.11.67 and the score jumped to a 9.2 overall.

What it actually fixes:

• Judder during camera pans : Cleaned up. The micro-judder that bugged motion-sensitive viewers has been heavily reduced.
• HDR highlights looking a little flat : Fixed. Tone mapping (PQ EOTF tracking) is now noticeably more accurate, so bright scenes pop the way they're supposed to.
• Glare in a bright room killing the picture : Mostly gone. Combined with the brightness fix, reflections are now barely an issue even with lights on.
• Calibration drifting after HDR adjustments : Tightened up across the board, pre- and post-cal.

--

RTINGS' breakdown:

• Mixed usage : Perfect black levels, zero haloing, and genuinely brilliant SDR peak brightness
• Home theater : HDR and Dolby Vision highlights have real pop now
• Bright room : Reflection handling + the new brightness numbers make daytime viewing a non-issue
• Sports : Fast motion is crystal clean, response times feel near-instant, zero transition artifacts
• Color & motion : The micro-judder problem is basically solved

The bigger picture here isn't really about the G6. It's that firmware updates are starting to meaningfully move the needle on review scores months after launch; which says something about how much headroom these panels actually have when manufacturers keep optimizing post-release.
